Desenvolvido em Barcelona, alojado na UE, com encriptação de ponta a ponta
Last updated: 2026-06-03 · By Albert RipolTripCount is built by Albert Ripol — a single-developer travel-expense splitter focused on free AI receipt scans, end-to-end encryption and EU payment rails (Bizum, Revolut). Built in Barcelona, hosted in the EU.
About the developer
TripCount is built by Albert Ripol — a single-developer European product focused on privacy, EU payment rails, and 50 languages including regional ones (Catalan, Valencian, Balearic, Basque, Galician, Welsh, Faroese). The backend is open-source FastAPI on GitHub; the frontend is a Vite-built PWA. Bug reports and PRs welcome.
Why I built TripCount
After one too many post-trip spreadsheets and "who paid for the taxi?" arguments across three currencies, I built TripCount as the tool I wanted to exist. Splitwise paywalls OCR. Tricount belongs to a bank. Neither speaks Catalan. TripCount is the European, encrypted, multilingual alternative — free for the core, and built for the way friends actually travel.
Stack and openness
Frontend: React 18 + Vite, installable PWA. Backend: FastAPI + PostgreSQL + Docker Compose, self-hostable. AI OCR: OpenAI Vision. Payments: Stripe for token packs; payouts use Bizum, Revolut and PayPal deep links (no IBAN paste). Hosting: Hetzner in Germany — entirely inside the EU.
